Underdog

Underdog, my favorite cartoon character on TV via Photoshop

One of my favorite things to do is take pictures of old television sets and put campy things on the screen using the Edit>Transform tool in Photoshop.

In the picture above I took a picture television set that I snapped at Ruby's diner in Ft. Myers, FL and cleaned up the background.

Then I slipped this image on top and transformed it so it fit inside the TV set.

I've done this twice before on my blog, but with different images and television sets.

One is of Hillary Clinton on the TV and the other is of Peter Lawford on the TV.

Photoshop Skewed or Balanced; You Decide

I'm back to reviewing architecture. This time, I caught a black and white building in Paris that sat on a cul de sac in the outer part of the city.

Happy Modern New Year! Take a look at pictures a, b, c and d. One figure is the original. In two figures I cropped and in one I skewed in Photoshop (Select entire image with rectangular selection tool; then Edit>Transform>Skew, then pull top outside arrows of dashed selection outward to make building sit straight up and down).

Which figure--a, b, c, or d--is the one that is skewed.
